https://campingbabble.com/threads/mew-lake-base-camp-prep.1624/invalid@example.com (Northern Dancer)Northern DancerSo what did I forget?

https://campingbabble.com/threads/buy-any-equipment-recently.1543/invalid@example.com (Northern Dancer)Northern DancerI'm sort of interested in learning what kinds of equipment you may have purchased recently.For me it was a canoe tripping tent, new sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and a new down filled winter camping coat - all on sale of course. Speaking of sales there sure are a lot of them these days.

https://campingbabble.com/threads/stove-for-hot-tenting.1544/invalid@example.com (Northern Dancer)Northern DancerI can appreciate the fact that at the time of this posting temperatures are soaring. BUT...I still need to be prepared for winter camping now the sales are on.

So what did I purchase? A new, in tent wood stove for winter camping. The one I have is older, bigger and a lot heavier. I selected the TMS Portable Military Wood Stove.

As he painted the scene for me I said, "Yes," I can visualize what you are talking about."

​Six inches of air sits between you and the lake’s surface. A third air tube blows up to erect the tent frame. And the whole enchilada inflates with an included foot pump.

The tent walls and top all attach to the frame with hook-and-loop...

I'm desperate to try and help my family in PR. They have no water or power and are drinking rain water. I found out the main branch of their post office is finally open for pickups and I'm trying to send small stuff that can make it through. Does anyone have suggestions?

They are using a camp stove to cook what food they have.

My grandpa and I are sending emergency rations, I sent some water purification tablets, and a hand crank USB charger. I'm looking at "survival water"...
